@Mar vin kaiser Hi. Do you happen to know if 頭牲 and 頭生 are variant forms and if 頭生仔 is a derived term? --Dine2016 (talk) 04:08, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dine2016: All the sources I know don't show 頭生 as a variant of 頭牲, so my answer to the first question is "no", unless you have found a source. For your second question, there is a word "頭牲仔", but haven't seen "頭生仔". --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 03:44, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Mar vin kaiser: Thanks. 臺灣客家語常用詞辭典 has 頭生 and 頭生仔, and 台語辭典(台日大辭典台語譯本)查詢 gives identical pronunciation of 頭生 to 頭牲 on Wiktionary. --Dine2016 (talk) 04:28, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Dine2016: In that case, that would mean that Hakka uses 頭生, and you could show the link between Hakka 頭生 and Min Nan 頭牲. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 11:23, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Mar vin kaiser: Um..., could you create/fix the entries? I speak neither of these languages. --Dine2016 (talk) 11:26, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Dine2016, Mar vin kaiser: The 2016 update of 臺灣客家語常用詞辭典 has changed 投生 and 頭生 to 頭牲. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 07:27, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
